Appendix:Z-Power

Z-Power is a kind of extraordinary power that greatly boosts an attack during a battle, first introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. It comes in the form of 29 Z-Crystals, each having its corresponding Z-Move. Similar to Mega Evolution, a Z-Power can only be unleashed once per battle, and it is also worth knowing that Z-Powers and Mega Evolution cannot be used at the same time.

Z-Crystals
Z-Crystals are powerful crystals that allow whatever Pokémon holding them to use powerful Z-Moves. In Pokémon Brick Bronze, Z-Crystals are currently only found on the Lost Islands (including their associated areas such as Deep Jungle) and are distributed all across in suitable landscapes. There is a Z-Crystal for every Pokémon type, although some Z-Crystals will only work for certain Pokémon. Most Z-Crystals will work with any Pokémon as long as the Pokémon has a move with a compatible type to the Z-Crystal. Z-Crystals, when found, are safely stored in the player's Z-Crystal Pouch. So far, there are only 6 out of 29 kinds of Z-Crystals in the game.

Z-Moves
Z-Moves are attacks that gain devastating power after activating the Z-Crystals. They can only be used once per battle, and only work if the Pokémon has a move of the corresponding type to the Z-Crystal it is holding.

Attacks
When used offensively, Z-Power transforms the selected move into a specific and dreadful attack which always hits, even if the other Pokémon uses Protect, Baneful Bunker, King's Shield, etc (though it will only deal 25% of its damage), unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig, Bounce or Fly. The power or category of the Z-Move depends on what sort of attack is being used — generally, a stronger power means greater power from the Z-Move, and a Physical move results in the Z-Move to cause Physical damage, whereas a Special move deals Special damage.

Status Moves
Z-Power can also be used for powering up Status moves to add some special effects for them, such as resetting all reduced stats, in addition to the effects of the chosen move. As of now, Status Move Z-Powers are not available in Pokémon Brick Bronze.

Trivia

 * Currently, the dance for the Z-Moves done by the trainer when activated is only the dance compatible with the Normalium Z and Groundium Z, which ironically are currently not in the Roblox game.
